MDDI Type 2 controller delivers 60fps at FWVGA resol'n

QuickLogic Corp. rolls out a display controller solution using the Mobile Display Data Interface (MDDI) Type 2 interface for smartbook, smart phone and tablet applications using Qualcomm chipsets.

The company has verified the solution's operation as an MDDI Type 2 (dual lane) client running 60fps at Full-Wide VGA (FWVGA) resolution. The solution is implemented on an ArcticLink II VX4C solution platform, which includes QuickLogic's Visual Enhancement Engine (VEE) and Display Power Optimiser.

QuickLogic said its MDDI Type 2 solution is available as a proven system block for customer specific standard products developed from the ArcticLink II VX4C solution platform. Also included in the VX4C solution platform are the VEE and DPO PSBs. VEE enables sunlight viewability on mobile displays through pixel-by-pixel dynamic range control, while DPO significantly reduces display power consumption through intelligent control of backlight brightness.

Reference designs of the MDDI Type 2 display controller solution have been system-proven with Qualcomm's MSM7x30 and QSD8x50 chipsets running the Google Android OS and are available immediately.
